Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish a sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.

Whoever thinks of stopping the uprising before it achieves its goals, I will give him ten bullets in the chest.

It will be another disaster, after Irangate. Not only that, not only this longest Arab - Israeli confrontation: but also the most important and successful war of attrition which still continues in the south of Lebanon.

When I made a big effort in '96 and it is not - I squeezed and I arrested a part of [terroristic groups].

[Alexander Haig and Ariel Sharon ] casualties in this war were more than in all the previous Arab - Israeli confrontations. If you remember, it is the only war [in 1982] which hasn't a hero among the Israeli generals.

I had support - I had started it, not to forget.

We will make the lives of the infidels hell - millions of martyrs marching on Jerusalem.
